Companies often reward their most effective engineers with offers for management positions. However, for an engineer with leadership abilities, management doesn’t have to be the only option. The staff engineer path allows you to contribute at a high level, while having more free time to drive big projects, focus on tech strategy, and level up everyone’s skills.
Join us for this edition of Bookmarked, where Suzan Bond will be joined by Tanya Reilly to discuss her latest book The Staff Engineer’s Path: A Guide For Individual Contributors Navigating Growth and change.
